Goerz Ango

The Goerz Ango is an early-twentieth-century folding plate camera produced by the Berlin optical maker C.P. Goerz. It belongs to the era of strut-folding hand cameras using glass plates, and was sold as a portable field camera before the dominance of roll film.

Sales data for the Ango is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result from 2011 records a price of £100, so any sense of current value in 2026 should be treated as indicative rather than established. With only one wholesale saleroom datapoint to draw on, the Ango sells for whatever a specialist collector is willing to pay on the day, and its worth depends heavily on completeness, lens condition and the presence of original plate holders.
